I looked at the Xb, and the Matrix / Vibe. I got the Vibe. The Toyotas
didn't have what I wanted (Standard Shift) and they weren't available in
the summer when I needed a car. The Vibe has lots of room in the back,
the back seats fold down, and the sytling isn't quite as radical as the
Xb. The Vibe has enough balls for me, not for drag racing, but it is
good for passing on the highway. The only real compliants that I have
are the seats are too hard, and the steering wheel is too far away from
you, and is positioned wrong so that you have to keep both hands on the
wheel all the time, and you have no place to rest your elbows while you
drive.
